My love for native plants started in 2016 when I added flowerbeds to my all-lawn garden. I chose native plants and was shocked at how fast and how much life they brought into my garden. This made me realize how much we hurt nature and, consequently, ourselves by replacing native plants that are interconnected with all life around them with lawns and ornamental plants. Seeing a powerful solution for climate change and biodiversity loss, I co-founded the Cliffcrest Butterflyway in 2020.
